surface has risen noticeably over the past decades. This warming is to a large extent due to the anthropogenic emissions of CO2 that amplify the natural greenhouse effect. Observations show, however, that
year’s Global Carbon Budget was released. For the purpose of the budget, researchers estimate the anthropogenic carbon budget for the planet as a whole; this includes the sources (emissions), the carbon sinks

and sample materials. The reduction of the carbon isotope 14C in the atmosphere accelerated by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and the associated distortion of the radiocarbon age of materials can
Climate Change In the Paris Agreement of 2015, Germany and the global community agreed to limit anthropogenic global warming to less than 2°C. But that goal can only be reached if both national and international
Ocean Acoustics Due to construction work in the sea, shipping, and gas and oil extraction, the oceans are becoming increasingly louder. A comprehensive international study has now shown that this n
today we will provide some information on the work of our colleagues here on board assessing anthropogenic impacts on the marine ecosystem on our way from Bremerhaven to Fram Strait (and back) and at
Climate Change Over the next few decades, anthropogenic climate change and the resultant changes in the global water cycle will produce a significant rise in drought frequency in the Northern Hemisphere
a research team led by Alfred Wegener Institute scientists investigated what long-term impact anthropogenic climate change will have on ocean eddies and their far-reaching effects. Using climate model
of regional temperature fluctuations over the last 8000 years. The consequence: In addition to anthropogenic warming additional changes in regional climates are expected due to natural variability.
